Solubitlity Rules 1) group 1, NO3-, NH4+, ClO4-, C2H3O2- (acetate) soluble salt

2) Most Ag+, Pb2+, Hg2 (2+) salt insoluble (exept when paired with above).


Plant Hormones (A CAGE) Auxin / IAA (indoleacetic acid): plant growth, elongation, phototropism

Cytokinin: stimulates cytokinesis

Abscisic Acid (ABA): growth inhibitor. delay growth.

Gibberellins: cell growth

Ethylene: gas, ripen fruit and leaf abscission




Anterior Pituitary Hormones (FLAT PEG) TROPIC HORMONES (Middleman)
FSH (follicle stim H): Maintain egg/ spermatogenesi

LH (luteinizing H): Cause ovulation / produce testosterone

ACTH (adrenocorticotropic H): activate adrenal cortex

TSH (Tyrhoid stim H): activate thyroid

DIRECT HORMONE
Prolactin: cause lactation (positive feedback)

Endorphine: inhibit pain receptor

GH (Growth Hormone): induce growth and also anabolic process


Posterior Pituitary Hormones (2) Oxitoxin: female contraction and lactation (positive feedback)

Vasopressin (ADH): anti-diuretic hormone, signal kidney to absorb water
(concentrate urine)


Adrenal Cortex Hormones (GLamorous and FAscinating In the cortex:
how REdiculous that it makes Testosterone) (Top)Zona Glomerulosa: mineralcorticoid --> aldosterone (reg Na reabsorption)

(Mid)Zona Fasciculata: glucocorticoid --> cortisol (incr blood sugar, suppress
imm system, released when you are stress)

(Bottom)Zona Reticulbiris: androgens --> testosterone (secondary sex
characteristics, and thus women also produce testosterone)

In the medulla:
(Deep core) catecholemines --> epinephrine and norepinephrine (adrenal
sympathetic response, fight or flight)

3 types of germ layer Ectoderm: (SEEN THEN) Sweat glands, epidermis, eye (lens and cornea),
nervous sys (CNS brain), tooth enamel, hair, epithelial lining of mouth/rectum,
nails

Mesoderm: (SMALL RED MC Not Good) skeleton, musc, adrenal cortex, lining of
body cavity, lymphatic sys, reproductive organs, excretory sys (kidney), dermis,
musc layer of DI tract, circulatory sys (blood and heart), notochord, gonads


Endoderm: (PET RULE) Pancreas, epithelial lining of DI tract, thyroid,
reproductive tract lining (lungs), urinary track lining (bladder), liver, epithelial
lining of respiratory


Hardy-weinberg requirements for a stable gene pool / LARGE RANDOM M&M

equilibrium) large pop
Random mating
No natural selection
No migration/mutation
genes all equally successful at reproducing


Two types of angiosperm dicotyledon/dicots:
2 cotyledon (storage tissue, nutrition), netted/branched leaves, 4s/5s multi flower
parts, bascular bundle organized in a circle, taproot (large single)

monocotyledons/monocots: 1 cotyledon, parallel leaves, 3s/multiple flower parts,
scattered vascular bundles, fibrous system (cluster of many fine roots)


What are the monosacc compositions of the following: 2 glucose (Mal to have 2 much glucose)

maltose glucose, galactose (galaxy lacks glucose)
lactose (milk)
sucrose (table sugar) glucose, fructose (fruits have sugary glucose)

oligodendrocytes: myelinate axons and structure framework

microglia: remove debris and pathogens

ependymal cells: line brain ventricles and aid in production, circulation and
monitoring of cerebral spinal fluid


3 types glial astrocyte (CNS): maintain homeostasis, reg glucose and O2 delivery in neurons

schwann cells (PNS): MYELIN

oligodendrocyte (CNS): MYELIN


2 major types of cells in PNS satellite cells: surround neuron cell bodies in ganglia

schwann cells: enclose axons and myelination of peripheral axons.
